so i feel like a moron.
ever since being a boyscout i have collected patches (and shot-glasses) of places i've visited. recently i collected some of my fav's (olympics/wonderland trail etc) and sewed them only my pack.
- i don't care about the water issue - that won't be a problem.
Just like carving peak names into wooden poles (did that too), it was more of a personal achievement pat-on-the-back, reminding me of great memories, but later i realized that others might take it differently.
i guess i might compare it to those cars with 35 location bumper stickers - some may say "so you vacation on OBX, who cares?"
guys/gals - what are you opinions regarding sewing patches on packs?
